(b) Existing Buildings. Building standards contained in Section 1102A, Housing Accessibility, of the California Building Code 2010 do not apply to the alteration, repair, rehabilitation or maintenance of multi-family dwellings constructed for occupancy prior to March 13, 1991.

Reasonable accommodation provisions do not apply when the owner of an owner-occupied, single-family home rents out a room in the home to a roomer or a boarder, and there are no other roomers or boarders living in the household. However, the owner cannot make or written statements, or use notices or advertisements which indicate any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry, familial status, source of income, or disability. Further, the owner cannot discriminate on the basis of medical condition or age.
